First week of August 2018 reviewed<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Again, shoutout to our boys at YGO Scope for providing such a sophisticated tool.<\/p>\n
This week we’re doing something a little different. I’ve taken extra consolidation steps so rather than looking at monarch true draco seperate from pure, I’m just averaging the stats as ‘true draco’ and letting the techs and ideas influence it how they may. I’ll continue experimenting with ways to best present the data, but let’s see how things change based on this.<\/p>\n
Top 15 Decks:<\/p>\n
That’s right, we’re doing 15 decks this week, since 15 different decks in the top ‘tables’ were seen at least 50 times this week. I’m just gonna list em all. Last weeks 1st place was Zefra, which this week didn’t even see 50 games played. It did win 68.42% of the 20 it did play. There’s only gonna be 14 decks listed as Zefra is the 15th, but I’m not ranking it due to scarcity. Froggy buddies, however, utilizing sky strikers and\/or paleos saw variations of success, that when summed up and averaged, came out on top.<\/p>\n
Finally getting some more fair representation, this deck has more than 10 ways it shows up in the data based on so many kinds of techs like world legacy, or sky striker cards, that without this method, this deck actually hides in the form of 15 decks that were played 10 times each. Summed up, it showed up 180 times, and won 125 of those.\u00a0 Morning star was a definite boost to this deck, and the new Invoker Link monster can do nothing but help its future!<\/p>\n
The next 3 are all neck and neck with each other, but dinosaur having the fewest mirror matches mean its not lowering its own average towards 50 as fast as the others.<\/p>\n
This one goes way higher with pure DARK HERO stuff, and way lower when adding sky striker stuff, but through our new methodology, lands right here. Still by far the most represented deck.<\/p>\n
People will play this deck until you tell them they can’t anymore. Anything over 50% means you’re seeing game 3s. Anything over 66% means you’re winning matches.<\/p>\n
This was my pick to win worlds, and what I’m currently playing, myself. The people running sky strikers in this deck saw significantly lower win rates, and actually dragged an average of 72 down to this 66.<\/p>\n
Cybernetic Horizon has been good to this deck. Borrelsword, Hayate, I’ve even seen the Mana Dragon teched in a few. This decks mirror matches are still basically neo-new goat format, and I encourage people to try them out, they’re fun. However, in a world where people are allowed to play decks that aren’t this one, this isn’t the right call.<\/p>\n
People playing this deck will be happy in the coming months, there’s two more sets of support for these things. I said I’d be surprised if it stayed as high as 61 a week later, and it actually went up!<\/p>\n
The Monarch variant is losing even harder this week than last, but also was almost completely unseen so it didn’t drag the stats down that much. rivalry is a lot weaker vs frog\/geist, and gozen is a lot weaker vs trickstar and the formers; so the massive early format advantage this deck had by maining six has been slowing down a bit. I wonder if ‘there can be only one’ wouldn’t be a good idea for these guys.<\/p>\n
Well, we have a deck in 10th place that actually doesn’t use the sky striker cards whatsoever to eliminate weaknesses to floodgates. It isn’t winning as often without those weaknesses though.<\/p>\n
\u30d8\u30d3\u30fc\u30e1\u30bf\u30eb\u30d5\u30a9\u30fc\u30bc\u30fb\u30a8\u30ec\u30af\u30c8\u30e9\u30e0<\/p>\n
A 49-31 record. This deck keeps winning. I’ve been watching replays of it using Moulinglacia and Gumblar in one turn to really cripple hands. It’s pretty cool. Another deck that doesn’t see a lot of mirror matches to drag its total towards 50, however.<\/p>\n
Gone is the hype from Thomas Rowe and his “Dante’s Cat” deck. This deck has gone from the most played to bottom 5 on a list of 20. Poor results can be chocked up partially to people jumping ship, and those who stay, trying to use Danger! monsters in the deck. They’re still not good.<\/p>\n
Well, it’s not 0. A lot of this comes from the new consolidation however, where the pure variants winrate of exactly 50, raised the dark world variants winrate of …8%, up quite a bit.<\/p>\n
World Chalice, ABC, Infernoid, Satellarknight, and even a Gem-Knight FTK all still saw some play, but it was less than 10 matches each, and not significant enough data to work with.<\/p>\n
